People always wondered how Mack Brown would recruit once he actually won something. Well, he went ahead and won the whole enchilada and his first conference title all at once. And we are now starting to see the dividends of UT's first national championship in football since another Texas nut was in the White House.
University of Texas, less than one month after the 2006 signing day, already has secured 12 commmits its upcoming 2007 class. Now I don't know how closely you follow recruiting (and anyone who knows how big of recruiting sicko in my younger days can tell you the story of my attendance when South Grand Prairie WR B.J. Johnson annouced his commitment), but this is unprecedented.
Now I have no idea how the guy (Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods.com and possible homer) who comes up with these rankings and considering none of these kids have played a down of football in their senior season of HIGH SCHOOL take it with a grain of salt.
But it looks to me like Texas is getting whoever the hell they want and everyone else can fight over the scraps. But hey, I just call it how I see it.

Pods,
Not to burst your bubble, but I only see two guys from the top 10. I dont like committments this early, what have these guy's proved. Recruiting is "political" enought with ht/wt/40 time/etc, this is even worst since these guys haven't even proved themselves in their Senior year yet. Now you have 12 committments tied up already, with what, 10-12 more left to give out. I just dont like it. Plus you know that if one of these guys blows out a knee their Senior year, you'll still honor the committment, and be screwed out of a scholarship.
Gig em aggies basketball!!!!
Mack Brown is awesome - aggy will continue to swallow Trampe's fun juice.
